A. Chiropractic is the removal of nerve interference in the body.

Nerves control every single function in our bodies. Without nerves we would be paralyzed. The picture below shows spinal nerves exiting from the spine between each of our 24 vertebrae. In order for the body to communicate it must be able to "talk" through these spinal nerves.

A.  If there is any pressure that is preventing the nerves from "talking" to the body, the body will start to deteriorate in the areas supplied by those nerves. The circle in the diagram shows an area of "pressure" on a spinal nerve that is "pinching" off the nerve flow.

Q. Am I too old/young for Chiropractic?

A. Chiropractic doctors treat patients from a few hours old to well over a century. Chiropractic has been shown to be beneficial in treating infantile colic and has been also shown to help the elderly deal with aches and pains. Chiropractic benefits all ages.

A. The pop that you might hear when you receive an adjustment is nothing more than gas being released. If you were to take a suction cup and pull it from a window you would get a pop from the negative pressure. This is the same phenomenon that takes place in your joints. The gas builds back up in the joint within 15-20 minutes of getting released.
